Wang Xu’s aura kept rising until every cell in his blood and flesh was taking in energy. The energy in his body gradually decreased, but at the same time, his mechanism, organs and skin were also changing! The level-four “Basic Body” had already made Wang Xu’s physical strength far stronger than normal people, even stronger than those of the same level. With his physical strength plus a B-grade armor, unless the other party had an A-grade weapon and stronger martial arts than he did, even his defense wouldn’t be able to be broken through!
It had been six months and Wang Xu’s level had stagnated for six months. During these six months, it wasn’t that Wang Xu had done nothing. He was also accumulating his strength and waiting to break through the level. And it was time now!
The mid-stage of level four!
After breaking through the bottleneck of the early stage, the energy in Wang Xu’s body had yet to be exhausted. It was still expanding and growing. It was only when he perfected the mid-stage of level four and was just a step away from reaching the later stage would it stop.
“Phew” Wang Xu heaved a long sigh as he held his firm hands and could clearly feel the power being transmitted through them.
“Let’s go! Let’s continue earning points!”
In the outskirts of the wilderness, it was completely silent. The dilapidated road was also covered by plants, and the only sound left in the world was the sound of the wind.
“Gulp!”
Suddenly, a huge snake-shaped insect beast crawled over from afar. The snake-shaped insect beast was three meters long, and the snake head was the head of a bug. There were a few insect feet under its slippery body, and it was making strange noises.
“A level-four Scarlet Snake Beast. Should we attack?”
At the window of an abandoned building not far away from the Scarlet Snake Beast, a man wearing glasses holding a thermal telescope detected the appearance of the Scarlet Snake Beast and he asked in a low voice.
“An level-four insect beast at the early stage is worth 10 points, the mid-stage 20 points, the later stage 30 points. The Scarlet Snake Beast is at the later stage of level four. We can’t waste 30 points.” Beside the man wearing glasses, there was a man with a hideous scar on his left eye. He waved his hand, and two other people on the floor quickly came.
“Owen will be in charge of remote support. Warren, Hall, you two follow me,” the scarred man ordered. “Remember, the greatest weapon of this level-four Scarlet Snake Beast is the venom shot from its fangs. Once it opens its mouth, Owen, you will hit its fangs. Do you understand?”
Owen nodded, holding a steel bow in his hand. Even the bowstring was made of wire, which showed how much strength was needed to pull this bow.
In this era, firearms were no longer popular among humans. Ordinary bullets and cannons could only cause limited damage to insect beasts. If they threw radiation bombs out, both sides would be injured. Based on this point, humans advocated the development of cold weapons and used various rare minerals to develop cold weapons.
Of course, it wasn’t that there were no thermal weapons. However, thermal weapons that could deal with insect beasts required the support of cosmic energy. Once the cosmic energy was used up, the thermal weapons would be useless. In the trial, bows were naturally chosen for distant cover.
“Wait! Someone is approaching!” The man wearing glasses suddenly said after the commander gave an order.
They immediately found cover and slowly turned to look out the window.
Wang Xu hunted more insect beasts along the way. Most of them were level-three insect beasts. Wang Xu only cut off a part of their bodies and was no longer interested in them. The energy provided by the level-three insect beasts was too little, so there was no need to waste time devouring them.
Walking along the road covered with vegetation, Wang Xu soon arrived at an abandoned small town. Not only that, but he also spotted the Scarlet Snake Beast crawling in the distance!
Wang Xu had seen the Scarlet Snake Beast in the handbook. It was an insect beast at the later stage of level four that could spew out venom, which was extremely troublesome to deal with. Its venom was extremely corrosive, it could even corrode steel, let alone a human’s body. It could directly kill a person!
As soon as Wang Xu approached, the Scarlet Snake Beast also noticed him. Its pair of green eyes looked over, filled with coldness and blood lust.
Wang Xu became excited. Another level-four insect beast, and it was even in the later stage. If he could devour it, he would be able to break through the bottleneck and reach the late stage of level four!
At the thought of this, Wang Xu pulled out the Blood Bone Giant Saber and performed the “Mystic Movement Art.” Like dozens of phantoms rushing forward at the same time, he attacked the Scarlet Snake Beast!
“That person is attacking. Do we still have to wait?” said the man wearing glasses.
“Wait. Since someone is attacking it for us, I’m happy to save some energy.” The scarred man sinisterly smiled.
The few of them understood that their boss was waiting for this kid to kill the Scarlet Snake Beast, then attacking him after that.
Wang Xu didn’t know that there were many people staring at him in the dark. The strength in his hands increased tremendously as he struck towards the Scarlet Snake Beast!
Swish!
The Scarlet Snake Beast’s movements were more agile than Wang Xu had imagined. Its body was like a black shadow as it dodged Wang Xu’s attack.
“So fast!”
The “Nine Lightning Sword Techniques” focused on attacking at a high speed. Wang Xu thought that with the speed of the “Mystic Movement Art,” his movement wouldn’t be slower than anyone at the later stage of level four. However, the Scarlet Snake Beast was actually able to dodge this attack swiftly. Clearly, this Scarlet Snake Beast was even faster than Wang Xu!
“Psst!” The Scarlet Snake Beast’s insect feet bounced off the ground and pounced towards Wang Xu. Green liquid spew out from its two sharp fangs in its mouth.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Xu created countless figures. Then, his real figure quickly dodged and the Scarlet Snake Beast missed.

The green venom landed on the ground, and the vegetation that covered the road was corroded by it. Instantly, it festered and corroded, revealing the asphalt road below. Even the asphalt road was corroded by the venom until it turned black, with disgusting bubbles popping up.
One could imagine that if the venom landed on a person’s body, their stomachs and intestines would also rot!
“Damn it! This Scarlet Snake Beast actually wants to kill me!” The Scarlet Snake Beast dodged Wang Xu’s attack. It raised its snake tail that was as thick as a bucket, creating a strong whistling wind as it lashed it towards Wang Xu’s face!
In terms of speed, Wang Xu wasn’t inferior to the Scarlet Snake Beast. His extremely agile reaction allowed his body to dodge. With just a sidestep, the Scarlet Snake Beast’s tail missed and hit the big tree behind Wang Xu. The entire tree broke with a crack.
At the same time, Wang Xu wielded the Blood Bone Giant Saber again and slashed at the Scarlet Snake Beast!
The Scarlet Snake Beast refused to be outdone. It raised its tail again and let out a strange hiss as it faced the attack head-on!
“Swish!” However, the Scarlet Snake Beast underestimated the strength of Wang Xu’s attack. He directly used the “Hundred Sword Lightning.” The moment he came into contact with the snake tail, he slashed four times in the blink of an eye, leaving a hideous wound on the insect beast’s tail.
The Scarlet Snake Beast was in pain, and it opened its mouth to shoot out venom once more. After that, its body was like a fish as it swiftly fled into the distance.
The speed that it was most proud of couldn’t gain any advantage in front of Wang Xu, so there was no need for it to fight with its life. Although insect beasts were stupid, their instinct for survival made them choose to escape temporarily.
Seeing this, Wang Xu dodged the venom from the Scarlet Snake Beast. In just a short moment, the Scarlet Snake Beast was already far away. Wang Xu quickly used his movement art to catch up.
“Hm?”
However, before he could take more than two steps, three people suddenly appeared in the direction where the Scarlet Snake Beast escaped in. One of them was holding a square shield, one was holding a meteor hammer, and one was holding a snow-white broadsword. The three of them tacitly stopped the Scarlet Snake Beast and concentrated their attacks on the wound that Wang Xu made.
The Scarlet Snake Beast was enraged by the pain. It wanted to resist, but with a square shield in front of it, it was useless no matter how it attacked. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the other two smashed it with their heavy hammer and broadsword. In less than 10 seconds, the Scarlet Snake Beast was covered with wounds and beaten to death.
Wang Xu, who was watching from afar, stopped with a sullen expression.
He had been too careless. He had never thought that a few people would have eyes on him secretly when he was hunting insect beasts. If those people hadn’t attacked the Scarlet Snake Beast but him instead, it would have been very difficult for him to escape!
“Guys, I discovered this Scarlet Snake Beast first. Aren’t you guys being too unreasonable?” Wang Xu said.
The scarred man smiled and said after hearing this, “Unreasonable? You’re trying to reason with me here? Should I call you naive or foolish?”
The people in front of him had blonde hair and blue eyes, looking like westerners. Each of them was taller than the other, and their muscular arms were hairy. When they heard this, they all burst into laughter.
Ever since the remaining humans were unified, there was no distinction between countries, and there was no distinction in natural languages either. All of them learned the “Earth language,” so it wasn’t a problem for them to communicate.
“Boss, that long sword in that kid’s hand seems to be an A-grade weapon!” Suddenly, the exclamation of Owen, the man wearing glasses, sounded in the scarred man’s earphone.
Hearing this, the scarred man immediately looked at Wang Xu and his eyes were burning with enthusiasm and greed.
“Boy, I’ll give you a chance. Leave your backpack and this long sword behind and I’ll spare your life!” The scarred man licked his lips and said.
A-grade weapons were worth thousands of points, while the rare ones were worth tens of thousands. These people weren’t like Wang Xu. Not only did he join the Extreme Dao Ancient Hall, but he also received 30,000 points from the dean. A-grade weapons were treasures worth tens of millions to them. Even if they didn’t use such treasures, they could still live a good life for a long time if they sold them at a good price!
Wang Xu was still hesitating whether he should go up or not at first. After all, there were three people on the other side and he didn’t know if there would be any hidden people. If they were to fight, he wouldn’t be able to get away with it. However, the moment the scarred man spoke, he knew that this couldn’t be avoided.
“You want it? Come and get it if you can!” Wang Xu’s gaze was sharp. “Attack!” The scarred man didn’t hesitate. An arrow aiming at Wang Xu from a distance was immediately shot out!
As the arrow was shot out, the scarred man and the others quickly rushed forward!
As expected!
How agile was Wang Xu? The moment the arrows were shot out, he had already sensed them. He used the “Mystic Movement Art” and turned into hundreds of phantoms. The arrow pierced through one of the phantoms and landed on the ground.
The man wearing glasses, Owen, cried out in alarm. He was agile, so he once again mounted his bow and shot continuously at Wang Xu.

Owen was quite accurate, and several arrows blocked Wang Xu’s way, forcing him to continue facing the danger of being hit.
Although the iron arrows were powerful, Wang Xu wasn’t afraid at all. He was wearing B-grade armor. How could ordinary iron arrows pierce through it?
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The iron arrows hit Wang Xu’s B-grade armor but couldn’t hurt him at all.
“An armor!” The scarred man realized this and his eyes became even more fiery. If an A-grade weapon could make them greedy, then an armor was enough to make them go crazy!
